everyone to the margin

by Jack Henry / October 27th, 2019

we no longer speak the same language,
carry the same meaning, use the same
words;

everything is different now;

and everything probably should be
different now, different light,
different sun;

maybe we need to learn a different
language, something suitable for the masses;

but there are no masses now, only margins;
everyone to the margin;

our Orwellian reality has finally taken control,
it just took a little longer for the roots to
finally produce something we could pluck;
